HTTP: TIFF Thunder decoder

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against LibTiff Thunder decoder. Versions 3.9.4 and below are vulnerable. Attackers can attain remote code execution. Due to the nature of the vulnerability, the presence of thunder encoded file is detected, not the actual exploitation.

Extended Description

libTIFF is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the library fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of an application using the affected library. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
